Yee-ha indeed! Brilliant. What is the power used for specifically?

My daughter Bethany wants to say hi, so here it is: "Hi!" Ok, your teacher taught her when she was in P7 in Papdale. Beth says she was really nice and read them stories! (Beth is 17 now and obviously has fond memories of P7).

May the good winds blow and your wind turbine last a very long time. How much of your school needs will it provide? Is it cost effective, and are we to expect every backyard in Flotta to have one?

Well kids the first thing is it produces clean energy (for get about the cost of insalation, over 20 years it will have well and trualy paid for itself) and remember that when you energise an electric motor it also does a Co2 cleanup. I like to hear of the K/M wates put back into the system Have agood day regards to all.

Let me add my congratulations to all the other, long may your turbine twiddle! But do look at the pounds, shillings and pence over the lifetime. It will probably be an interesting calculation.

we usde the power for the school and then we dont have to pay as much for it so it cuts our electric bill in half.

we use the power for the computers mainly and the lights

Turbine is running well. Our last electricity bill was 拢8000 so we hope that we will see quite a difference with the next meter reading
